This cosy is pure fun — a little banana skin that looks like it’s just been dropped, flaps open, end in the air, ready for someone to slip on like in the old comedy sketches. It has that nostalgic cartoon feel, the kind of banana peel you’d see in vintage slapstick films. It’s perfect for anyone who loves a giggle, enjoys novelty knits or simply has a soft spot for bananas. Once finished, it wraps neatly around the new smaller Chocolate Oranges, turning them into a playful treat that always gets a smile.

The pattern is knitted flat on two needles with seams, so it’s nice and straightforward to work through. The three‑page pattern includes clear step‑by‑step instructions and helpful photos, guiding you through shaping the flaps and creating that classic banana‑skin silhouette. Worked in DK yarn on 4mm needles, it’s a quick, cheerful knit that’s mainly stocking stitch, so you can relax into the rhythm without worrying about complicated techniques. Your digital download arrives instantly after purchase, meaning you can cast on as soon as the idea grabs you. Please note: this listing is for the knitting pattern only.
